This month sees two classic Target novelisations released as audio books: the sixth/second Doctor adventure
The Two Doctors by
Robert Holmes, originally published in December 1985 and read here by the sixth Doctor himself,
Colin Baker; and
The Curse of Fenric by
Ian Briggs, featuring the seventh Doctor and originally published in November 1990, here read by "Davros" actor
Terry Molloy (this latter release having been brought forward in the schedule from November, swapping places with
Royal Blood).
Further audio books based on novelisations will continue into the next year. December sees the first historic pairing of Sarah Jane Smith and K-9 in
Terence Dudley's
K-9 And Company, whilst in the new year the fourth Doctor encounters an ancient Time Lord menace in
Doctor Who and the State of Decay (by
Terrance Dicks). February then jumps a time track back to the first Doctor's visit to
The Space Museum (by
Glyn Jones), followed in March by an exploration of one the seven wonders of the universe by the third Doctor in
Death to the Daleks (also by Terrance Dicks). In April its 'friends reunited' as the second Doctor and the Brigadier face the Cybermen in
The Invasion (by
Ian Marter), and then in May the fifth Doctor becomes one of "
The King's Demons" and confronts an old adversary in 13th Century England (also by Terence Dudley). Note: schedules for these and other BBC Audio releases are subject to change.
